Urban East may have been bursting at the seams with fresh R&B talent but it was undeniable who were running the house on Friday night. As soon as the Fund*mental boys stepped on stage they proceeded to show why, for so many teenage ladies in the UK, three is the magic number.

Baby V, Jermaine and Karl pulled slick moves with precision to match their military outfits, dropped hits with the live band and offered female fans the kind of six packs they don't sell in the off-license.

UD Vocalists' proved that Urban Development's faith (and funding) had been well placed. Armed with a kicking live ensemble, vocal leadership courtesy of R&B powerhouse Sherelle McKenzie and Labyrinth?s flamboyant stage antics, the collective worked the stage with passion and energy. Stand out cuts came in the shape of club banger 'Stay' and a soulful re-lick of 'Luv N War'.

Later that night, Natalie Maddix stepped out of the shadows to debut new material from her forthcoming album. Working the stage with sass and style, Ms Maddix lifted spirits with a horn-blasting rendition of 'Tonight', before shocking out like a homegrown Mary J, spraying streetwise poetry on 'Walk In The Park'.

Selah proved big things do come in small packages. The petite South Londoner enchanted audience with the aid of finely tuned vocal chords and acoustic guitar. In contrast, Ny brought the noise with an explosive live set. Rocking the stage with hot pants and an equally hot band, True Tiger's first lady made her mark. Grime superstar Ghetto joined the R&G princess to blaze 'Fire', while Aftershock's latest recruit Badness made good use of his cameo spot to flex gruff bars and sweet vocals.

Nathan performed hits like 'Do Without My Love' and closed the night with a touch of sophistication, for the more discerning R&B fan.
